Kanye West fake-pees for paparazzi — to Kim Kardashian's amusement

With three children at home under the age of 5, potty jokes must be popular at Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s house. They’re popular with the rapper outside the house too.

Over the weekend, our favorite creative genius was out with newly pink-tressed Kim when, as he was trailed by a shutterbug, he pretended to urinate against a wall in a warehouse area where the couple was doing a photo shoot. There seemed to be some confusion over whether or not he actually peed — one would assume photographers would have seen a puddle — but, in fact, he said he didn’t. He was just kidding. For the record, Kim found it hilarious.

Oh, Kanye and his LOL jokes, am I right? Not really. When it comes to his relationship with the paparazzi, there tends to be more drama (and sometimes fisticuffs) than knee-slaps. But maybe baby No. 3, Chicago West, has softened up dad.

Kanye has long had a complicated relationship with the ’razzi. The biggest clash, perhaps, was in July 2013 when he faced charges of battery and attempted theft after an altercation with photographer Daniel Ramos at Los Angeles International Airport. The following year, he received two years of probation after being convicted of misdemeanor battery on a photographer. His sentence also included 24 anger management sessions, 250 hours of community service, and restitution to the victim. The photographer went on to sue him in a civil case, and they settled out of court in 2015.

As you can see, it’s a long and complicated relationship, but the fact that he’s being playful shows that things are looking up. Maybe he can get more creative than a pee joke next time, now that he’s in his 40s.
